Just FYI, if the ink from the friction pen gets cold, it show up again. =) Maybe use a gel pen instead that ink wipes off easy with a damp cloth, or finger. something water soluble

[@MyPaperEnvelope]

I didn't have a problem of the friction pen ink showing up again. Maybe it also depends on the color of the pen or on the fabric that you are using it on...? Strange 🤷‍♀🤷‍♀

[@iteeshollow]

@@MyPaperEnvelope Mine is black, and i think i played with it on paper, not fabric, but when i put it in the fridge, it came back instantly, lol. So if the journal was say sitting in a car in the winter, it would show up. ;) Ill try it on fabric.

[@MyPaperEnvelope]

@@iteeshollow I wonder how it goes with fabric. Thanks for getting back :)

[@deanemcpherson3333]

You create beautiful things!!! I am wondering if you could show in more detail how you use the downloads printing on both sides of the paper. How you decide on pages. If this makes sense.

[@MyPaperEnvelope]

Deane, I didn't really decide on a specific image B to be on the back of the page with the Image A. If there are 24 page designs in the paper kit, I just pront the first 12, and then flip them over and print the next 12. As easy as that :) If you need to have a specific image in the back of another specific one, you will just have to take more time printing each one of the images separately while flipping the page over every single time while printing.

[@deanemcpherson3333]

@Alexandra M I'm excited to see what you create on the last two books. I'm so happy that you have shared such a fantastically beautiful collection. Bravo!

[@BarbZeb]

Alexandra, this is absolutely beautiful, and you did an awesome job with your explanations. I have ONE question-what particular sewing machine do you use that went through chipboard and such. Thank you so much for your time. Have a wonderful weekend.

[@jeannainnc8390]

i get confused about cardboard. What is medium weight cardboard 30pt or 50pt? or something else. I hear medium weight then I look for medium weight and I get a pt number and what is a correct pt number?

[@deannacarlson5172]

Wow! I've been wanting instruction on how to construct books like this that look professional and this is excellent. The only questions I have are-what type of sewing machine needle are you using, what type of thread, and are you using the longest stitch length (looks like it)? I love your attention to detail! Thank you.

When you did your layering fussy cut birds sewn on papers, the paper with the square holes. Is that a cinch machine?

[@shirleykathan-sayess5764]

I love this technique! Absolutely gorgeous!! SO creative. Wonderful tutorial. Thank you for sharing it. ❤ SayessDesign

[@marymakesoriginals]

You deserve it!!🎉 Keep up the marvelous digitals for us. We love them...❤

[@ТаняНиколова-х5я]

I really adore what you've done. You are incredibly creative crafter.

[@ExpressionsCS]

Wow! This video is so thorough and the finished product is stunning.

[@pattyfowler9987]

I’m a little confused why you made the acetate pockets so shallow. I would be afraid things would keep falling out. It seems that if you did not glue the entire back of each page, putting glue a little lower on back would leave things more secure. I must say your tutorials are the best I’ve watched. Thank you for your sharing. You are professional quality! I may try making my slots deeper. 😊

[@cjh011y4]

If you ever need to destash please keep me in mind I lost all my crafting supplies and I lost my leg it was amputated last month due to an accident. I am also going through a divorce after 29 years together and he cheated with my best friend and she got pregnant so I need something to get my mind off everything until I get my prosthetic

[@Marcabruna]

awesome!!!!😍

[@gloriarivas635]

Love it!!!! Your work is absolutely amazing and beautiful,Thank you for sharing.❤❤❤❤

[@LouiseAdie-zm2jf]

Muslin is cotton, too. Also, raw silk can be used, it's incredibly strong but has a soft hand. Linen is strong, too, and was used in very early times. Gorgeous work!!

[@karanbartle5163]

A brilliant tutorial 👏👏👏👏👏 and gorgeous journals thankyou very enjoyable to watch and to learn 👍

[@mmtpleasant]

Incredible!! The detail and your work. Love❤❤

[@dianemendoza3010]

[@shiorose1051]

Beautiful and detailed tutorial!! Love it!! 🥰

[@noemijaszai4074]

Gyönyörű ötletes munkák. És ami számomra a plusz benne, hogy mindent tűpontosan mérsz, én ugyanezt teszem. Bár nekem még lasaban megy, de jó úton haladok. Köszönöm, hogy végig vezettél ezen a csodálatos munkán. Én még nagyon kezdő vagyok, és csak ámultam, mit hoztál ki a kis napló oldakból.

[@vectoriadesigns]

I'm glad you like it!

[@theresecaillet8012]

[@marisarobertson5914]

Last night, I sat down to drift through YT. It is now 4:15 am!! I just found your channel, and I am highly impressed with the professionalism and attention to detail exhibited. I subscribed several videos (and hours) ago. Thank you for sharing your talent.

[@vectoriadesigns]

Thanks so much ^^

[@peggyjohnston3063]

Very nice! The best one ive seen😮

[@shahinak.b8574]

I love your work and I love your detail. But I lose faith when I see you use GLUE STICK are part of the BINDING.

[@MyPaperEnvelope]

I know what you mean, that's why I ALWAYS use my sewing machine on top of the glue stick. In addition, if you iron the fabric right away after you it down to paper, the glue stick actually works pretty well. Try it :)

[@Paula-vh8em]

Where did you get the gold foil Washi Tape Alexandra? Love your work ❤

[@brendasmith-allen4601]

Wonderful instructions

[@bridgetjones8339]

That is so beautiful. I honestly have never seen anything like it. You’re a magician

[@vectoriadesigns]

Alexandra really is ^^
